CHAIRMAN’S LETTER
Dear Eligible Shareholder,
On behalf of the Directors of Mindax Limited, I am pleased to present this Offer Memorandum and invite you to participate in a fully underwritten non-renounceable rights issue to raise approximately A$0.57 million (before costs and expenses).
The rights issue offers you the right to take up one New Share for every five Shares you hold as at 5:00pm AWST on 6 April 2017 at an issue price of $0.005 per New Share.
The rights issue provides you with an opportunity to increase your investment in the Company (and maintain your relative equity holding in the Company) at an attractive price relative to the last price at which securities in the Company traded on the ASX.
In order to continue as a going concern (at the time of writing your Company has a working capital deficit) your Company needs to raise additional funds. Having regard to prevailing market conditions, especially the lack of appetite for risk capital, and after analysing responses to recent equity offerings by junior explorers with uncertain prospects your directors have:
-
determined to offer the New Shares at a price that represents a significant discount of approximately 80% to the volume weighted average price of Shares traded on the ASX for the 3 months prior to and including 31 March 2017 (being the trading day prior to announcement of the Offer); and
-
agreed to enter into the Underwriting Agreement to fully underwrite the Offer; and
-
determined to invite eligible shareholders to participate in any shortfall on the terms set out in the Offer.
After payment of the costs and expenses of the Offer, and the Company’s current liabilities, the proceeds from the Offer will be applied towards working capital requirements.
Please study this document carefully and seek professional advice, if necessary, to make an informed decision. All investors should be aware of the very speculative nature of mineral exploration and mining.
On behalf of the Directors I am pleased to offer Eligible Shareholders the opportunity to participate in this Offer.
Yours faithfully
Benjamin Chow OA Executive Chairman

SECTION 1: DETAILS OF THE OFFER
1. Offer
Mindax Limited offers each of its Eligible Shareholders the opportunity to subscribe for New Shares under a pro-rata non-renounceable rights issue.
Each Eligible Shareholder is entitled to subscribe for and be allotted one (1) New Share for every five (5) Shares held by that Eligible Shareholder as at the Record Date at an issue price of A$0.005 per New Share.
The issue price of the New Shares represents a discount of approximately 44% to the volume weighted average price of Shares traded on the ASX for the 3 months prior to and including 31 March 2017 (being the trading day prior to announcement of the Offer) of $0.009 per Share.
If an Eligible Shareholder becomes entitled to a fraction of a Share, the entitlement will be rounded up to the nearest whole number.
The New Shares will be fully paid and will rank equally in all respects with the Company’s existing Shares on issue. The Company has applied to ASX for quotation of the New Shares.
2. What is my entitlement?
The number of New Shares to which you are entitled is shown in the accompanying Application Form ( Entitlement ). You can subscribe for all, or part, of your Entitlement to New Shares. Detailed instructions on how to accept all or part of your Entitlement are set out in Section 3.
Please note that if you choose not to accept your Entitlement under the Offer, your shareholding in the Company will be diluted to the extent that the Offer is taken up by other Shareholders and underwritten by the Underwriter.
3. Shortfall Shares
In addition to being able to apply for New Shares in the manner described in paragraph 2 above, Shareholders who subscribe for their full Entitlement will also have the opportunity to apply for, and be allocated, additional New Shares that are not subscribed for under the Offer (Shortfall Shares), subject to the limitations set out in Section 4.
4. Opening and closing dates
The Offer opens for receipt of acceptances on 11 April 2017. The Closing Date and time for acceptances and payments is 5:00pm AWST on Friday, 5 May 2017, subject to the Directors varying the closing date in accordance with the Listing Rules and the Underwriting Agreement.
5. Who is entitled to participate in the Offer?
Each Shareholder with a registered address in Australia or New Zealand who is registered as the holder of Shares at 5:00pm AWST on Thursday, 6 April 2017 is entitled to participate in the Offer in respect of the number of Shares that person is then registered as the holder of.
Existing option holders may only participate in the Offer in respect of Shares to be issued on exercise of the options held by them if they exercise their options and are registered as the holder of the underlying Shares before the Record Date.
6. Offer not made to Excluded Shareholders
The Company has decided that it is unreasonable to make the Offer to shareholders who have a registered address in a country outside of Australia, Hong Kong, Malaysia, New Zealand or Singapore having regard to the number of shareholders in such places, the number and value of the New Shares they would be offered and the substantial costs of complying with the legal and regulatory requirements in those jurisdictions. Accordingly, the New Shares
6 | P a g e
to which Excluded Shareholders would otherwise be entitled will form part of the Shortfall.
Eligible Shareholders holding Shares on behalf of persons who are resident outside of Australia, Hong Kong, Malaysia, New Zealand or Singapore are responsible for ensuring that subscribing for the New Shares under the Offer does not breach regulations in the relevant overseas jurisdiction. Return of a duly completed Application Form will constitute a representation that there has been no breach of such regulations. Where the Offer Memorandum is received by persons domiciled in a country outside Australia, Hong Kong, Malaysia, New Zealand or Singapore and where that country’s securities code or legislation prohibits or restricts in any way the making of the Offer, the Offer Memorandum and accompanying Application Form are provided for information purposes only.
7. Effect on share capital
The effect of the Offer on the capital structure of the Company will be as follows:
| Shares | Number |
|---|---|
| Number on issue at 31 March 2017 (the last practicable trading day prior to announcement of the Offer) |
574,153,570 |
| Maximum number to be issued under the Offer | 114,830,714 |
| Maximum number on issue following the Offer | 688,984,284 |
The figures in the table above are approximate as individual Entitlements will be rounded up to the nearest whole figure.
8. Non-Renounceable Offer
The Offer is non-renounceable. This means that your right to subscribe for New Shares under the Offer is not transferable. Any Entitlements not taken up by Shareholders will be dealt with in accordance with Section 4 of this Offer Memorandum.
9. Underwriting and Directors’ intentions
Mr Andrew Tsang, a Director of the Company, has agreed to fully underwrite the Offer. A summary of the Directors (and their associates) current shareholdings, Mr Andrew Tsang’s underwriting amount and the maximum effect of his underwriting commitment are summarised below:
| Director | Current Holding |
Entitlement Number of Shares |
Entitlement $ |
Maximum Underwriting Commitment Shares |
Maximum Underwriting Commitment $ |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Benjamin Chow | 196,000 | 39,200 | 196 | N/A | N/A |
| Andrew Tsang | 244,319,543 | 48,863,912 | 244,320 | 114,830,714 | 574,154 |
| Kgai Mun Loh | - | - | - | N/A | N/A |
| Yonggang Li | - | - | - | N/A | N/A |
| TOTAL | 244,515,543 | 48,903,112 | 244,516 | 114,830,714 | **574,154 ** |
Notes:
-
Underwriting commitments are inclusive of the relevant Entitlement.
-
Assumes a total amount of approximately A$0.57 million is raised.
-
Mr Andrew Tsang will be entitled to be paid a commission of 5% in respect of the New Shares the subject of the Offer that he has committed to underwrite. The commission is payable by the Company in accordance with
7 | P a g e
the Underwriting Agreement. Total commission payable will be $28,708. Mr Andrew Tsang reserves the right to pass on commissions in whole or part to sub-underwriters.
As at the date of this Offer Memorandum, the Directors (and their associates), hold 244,515,543 Shares, comprising approximately 42.59% of the Shares in the Company. The Directors (and their associates), will have an Entitlement to 48,903,112 New Shares under the Offer in their capacity as Eligible Shareholders under the Offer. If there is a Shortfall, then subject to the terms of the Underwriting Agreement, Mr Andrew Tsang (and/or his associates) are obliged to take up the New Shares under the Offer.
As a result of underwriting, if no Eligible Shareholders take up their Entitlements, the number of shares held by the Directors (and their associates) will increase from 244,515,543 to 359,346,257 and the voting power of the Directors (and their associates) will increase from 42.59% to a maximum of 52.16%.
10. Effect on Control of the Company
The Directors (and their associates) are related parties for the purpose of the Corporations Act. The Directors (and their associates) present relevant interests and changes under several scenarios are set out in the table below which is based on the assumption that the Underwriter takes up his full entitlement of Shares under each scenario.
| Event | Shares held by Directors and Associates |
Voting power of Directors and Associates |
|---|---|---|
| Date ofOffer | 244,515,543 | 42.59% |
| Completion of Entitlements Issue (excluding Underwriter’s Entitlements) |
||
| Fully Subscribed | 293,418,655 | 42.59% |
| 75% Subscribed | 309,871,155 | 44.98% |
| 50% Subscribed | 326,362,856 | 47.37% |
| 25% Subscribed | 342,854,556 | 49.76% |
| 0% Subscribed | 359,346,257 | 52.16% |
The number of Shares held by the Directors (and their associates) and their voting power in the table above show the potential effect of the underwriting of the Offer. However, it is unlikely that no Shareholders will take up Entitlements under the Offer. The Underwriting obligation and therefore voting power of the Underwriter will reduce by a corresponding amount for the amount of Entitlements under the Offer taken up by Shareholders.
Further, the Underwriting Agreement provides the Underwriter the right to enter into sub-underwriting agreements to pass on some or all if his obligations to subscribe for the Shortfall under the Underwriting Agreement.
11. Potential Dilution
In addition, Shareholders should note that if they do not participate in the Offer, their holdings are likely to be diluted by approximately 20% (as compared to their holdings and number of Shares on issue as at the date of this Offer). Examples of how the dilution may impact Shareholders is set out in the table below:
| Holder | Holding as at Record Date |
% at Record Date |
Entitlements under the Offer |
Holding if Offer not take up |
% post Offer |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Shareholder 1 | 50,000,000 | 8.71% | 10,000,000 | 50,000,000 | 7.26% |
| Shareholder 2 | 25,000,000 | 4.35% | 5,000,000 | 25,000,000 | 3.63% |
| Shareholder 3 | 10,000,000 | 1.74% | 2,000,000 | 10,000,000 | 1.45% |
| Shareholder 4 | 5,000,000 | 0.87% | 1,000,000 | 5,000,000 | 0.73% |
| Shareholder 5 | 1,000,000 | 0.17% | 200,000 | 1,000,000 | 0.15% |
Note:
- The dilutionary effect shown in the table is the maximum percentage on the assumption that those Entitlements
8 | P a g e
not accepted are placed under the Shortfall Offer. In the Event the Entitlements are not accepted and some or all of the resulting Shortfall was not subsequently placed, the dilution effect for each Shareholder not accepting their Entitlement would be a lesser percentage.
12. Issue of New Shares
The Company expects that the New Shares will be issued by no later than 12 May 2017. The issue of New Shares will only be made after permission for their quotation on ASX has been granted.
Underwritten Shares will be issued in accordance with the Underwriting Agreement and, in any event, no later than 15 Business Days after the Closing Date, so as to comply with the exception to Listing Rule 7.1 for shares issued under an underwriting agreement to an underwriter of a pro rata offer of shares.
SECTION 2: PURPOSE OF THE OFFER
Proceeds from the Offer will be applied to the costs of the Offer, the Company’s current commitments, and the Company’s ongoing working capital requirements. The Directors reserve their discretion in respect of this.
The exact allocation of amounts will depend on how much is raised under the Offer and contingencies about which it is not possible to provide clear guidance as to the outcome.
SECTION 3: HOW TO ACCEPT THE OFFER
1. How to take up all or part of your entitlement
To subscribe for New Shares offered to you, please complete the accompanying Application Form according to the instructions on the form for all, or that part of your Entitlement you wish to subscribe for.
You must make payment for the appropriate application monies (at A$0.005 per New Share subscribed) as provided in paragraph 4 below.
Acceptances will not be valid if they are received after the Closing Date. Please note that all applications, once received, are irrevocable, except as permitted by law.
2. How to apply for Shortfall Shares
If you wish to accept your Entitlement in full and apply for Shortfall Shares, complete the Application Form and also fill in the number of Shortfall Shares you wish to apply for in the space provided on the Application Form. You must make payment for the appropriate application monies (at A$0.005 per New Share subscribed) as provided in paragraph 4 below.
There is no limit on the number of Shortfall Shares that may be applied for by Eligible Shareholders in excess of their Entitlement. However, Shortfall Shares will only be issued if the Offer is undersubscribed and will only be issued to the extent necessary to make up any shortfall in subscriptions and then at the discretion of the Directors and subject to the Underwriting Agreement.
The Directors reserve the right to reject any application for Shortfall Shares or to allot a lesser number of Shortfall Shares than applied for. Application monies received but not applied towards subscriptions for Shortfall Shares will be refunded as soon as practicable. No interest will be paid on application monies held and returned.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, any application for full Entitlement and Shortfall Shares together with cleared funds in support received on or before the Offer Close Date will be dealt with as follows (subject to the Offer not being withdrawn):
9 | P a g e
-
a) the applicant will be allocated the full Entitlement; and
-
b) the applicant will be allocated that proportion of Shortfall Shares as is the number of Shortfall Shares applied for by such applicant bears to the totality of Shortfall Shares applied in accordance with this condition.
3. Lapse of Rights
If you decide not to accept all or part of your Entitlement or fail to do so by the Closing Date, your Entitlement will lapse and will form part of the Shortfall.
4. Payment
The issue price for New Shares is payable in full on application by a payment of $0.005 per New Share. You may pay the Application Money by BPay® or cheque.
Completed Entitlement and Acceptance Forms must be accompanied by a bank draft or cheque in Australian dollars, crossed “ Not Negotiable ” and made payable to “ Mindax Limited ” and lodged and received at the Company’s share registry (by delivery or by post) no later than 5:00 pm AWST on the Closing Date :
By delivery Advanced Share Registry 110 Stirling Highway NEDLANDS WA 6009 By Post Advanced Share Registry PO Box 1156 NEDLANDS WA 6909
The Company will present the cheque or bank draft on or around the day of receipt of the Entitlement and Acceptance Form. If a cheque is not honoured upon its first presentation, the Directors reserve the right to reject the relevant Entitlement and Acceptance Form.
If the amount of your cheque(s) or bank draft(s) for Application Money (or the amount for which those cheque(s) or bank draft(s) clear in time for allocation) is insufficient to pay for the number of New Shares you have applied for in your Entitlement and Acceptance Form, you may be taken to have applied for such lower number of New Shares as your cleared Application Money will pay for (and to have specified that number of New Shares in your Entitlement and Acceptance Form) or your application may be rejected.
Alternatively, if you elect to pay via BPAY[®] , then you must follow the instructions for BPAY[®] on the Entitlement and Acceptance Form and you will not need to return the Entitlement and Acceptance Form.
It is your responsibility to ensure that funds submitted through BPAY[® ] are received by 3:00 pm AWST on the Closing Date. You should be aware that your financial institution may implement earlier cut-off times with regard to electronic payment, and you should therefore take this into consideration when making payment.
The Company shall not be responsible for any postal or delivery delays or delay in the receipt of the BPAY[®] payment.
Any Application Money received for more than your Entitlement will be applied toward an application for Shortfall Shares and where such Shortfall Shares are not allotted, shall be refunded. No interest will be paid on any Application Money received or refunded.
5. Binding nature of applications
Cooling-off rights do not apply to an investment in New Shares. You cannot, except as permitted by law, withdraw your application for New Shares once it has been received. A completed and lodged Application Form constitutes a binding offer to acquire New Shares on the terms and conditions set out in this Offer Memorandum and, once lodged, cannot be withdrawn. If the Application Form is not completed correctly, it may still be treated as a valid
10 | P a g e
application for New Shares. The Directors’ decision whether to treat an acceptance as valid and how to construe, amend or complete the Application Form is final.

Shortfall Shares will only be issued if the Offer is undersubscribed and will only be issued to the extent necessary to make up any shortfall in subscriptions.
The Directors reserve the right to issue Shortfall Shares to applicants at their absolute discretion, subject to the Underwriting Agreement.
If the Company receives applications for Shortfall Shares that would result in the Offer being oversubscribed then the Company will not accept such oversubscriptions and will reject or scale back applications at its discretion.
Any Shortfall Shares will, in accordance with the Listing Rules, be issued within 3 months after the Closing Date and will be issued at a price that is not less than the issue price of the New Shares under the Offer.
The Company will not issue Shortfall Shares where it is aware that to do so would result in a breach of the Corporations Act, the Listing Rules or any other relevant legislation or law. Eligible Shareholders wishing to apply for Shortfall Shares must consider whether the issue of the Shortfall Shares applied for would breach the Corporations Act or the Listing Rules having regard to their own circumstances.
The Directors reserve the right, subject to the Underwriting Agreement, to reject any application for Shortfall Shares or to allot a lesser number of Shortfall Shares than applied for. Application monies received but not applied towards subscriptions for Shortfall Shares will be refunded as soon as practicable. No interest will be paid on application monies held and returned.
SECTION 5: UNDERWRITING
Pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement the Underwriter has agreed to fully underwrite the Offer.
Upon completion, the Underwriter will receive an underwriting fee of 5% of the funds raised under the Offer.
The Underwriter may appoint sub-underwriters on terms consistent with the Underwriting Agreement, and any fees payable to the sub-underwriters will be for the account of the Underwriter.
The Company has given warranties, covenants and indemnities in favour of the Underwriter which are usual for agreements of this kind.
12 | P a g e
Shareholder approval will not be sought for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.11, as the issue of Shortfall Shares to the Underwriter under the Underwriting Agreement will come within Exception 2 of Listing Rule 10.12 (which provides that shareholder approval is not required to issue securities to a related party where the entity receives the securities under an underwriting agreement in relation to a pro-rata issue and the terms of the underwriting were included in the offer documents sent to shareholders).

ASX ANNOUNCEMENT – 3 April 2017
Entitlement Offer Cleansing Notice
under section 708AA(2)(f) Corporations Act (Notice)
Mindax Limited (ASX: MDX ) has announced today that it will undertake a non-renounceable entitlement offer of 114,830,714 fully paid ordinary MDX shares to its shareholders ( Issue ) on the basis of an entitlement to subscribe for 1 ordinary MDX share ( New Share ) for every 5 ordinary MDX shares held at the Record Date, being 6 April 2017, with each such share being issued at an issue price of $0.005 to raise approximately $574,154 (before costs) ( Offer ).
The Company advises that it will offer the New Shares for issue to investors under Part 6D.2 of the Corporations Act 2001 ( Act ) and states that this notice is given to ASX under paragraph 708AA(2)(f) of the Act, as modified by ASIC Corporations Instruments 2016/73 and 2016/84.
Further details regarding the Offer are set out in the Offer Memorandum lodged with ASX.
Accordingly, the Company confirms that:
-
The Company will offer the New Shares under the Entitlement Offer without disclosure to Investors under Part 6D.2 of the Act.
-
As at the date of this notice, the Company has complied with:
-
(a) the provisions of Chapter 2M of the Act as they apply to the Company; and
-
(b) section 674 of the Act.
-
As at the date of this notice, there is no excluded information as defined in section 708AA(8) and section 708AA(9) of the Act which is required to be disclosed by the Company.
-
The potential effect of issue of the New Shares under the Offer on the control of the Company, and the consequences of that effect, is dependent on a number of factors, including the extent to which eligible shareholders participate in the Offer and existing shareholdings. If all eligible shareholders take up their rights, each eligible shareholder’s percentage ownership interest (and voting power) in MDX will remain the same with no effect on the control of MDX.
To the extent that any eligible shareholder fails to take up their rights, that eligible shareholder’s percentage holdings in MDX will be diluted by those other eligible shareholders who take up some, all, or more than their rights.
If no eligible shareholders (other than the Underwriter) take up their rights (which the board considers unlikely), and the Underwriter subscribes for all the New Shares the Directors (and their associates) will increase their voting power to approximately 52.16% (up from 42.59%).
